Moles = MassMolar Mass Number of Atoms = Moles × NA × AtomicityCore Logic
Structure of Urea: NH₂-CO-NH₂ (Molecular formula: CH₄N₂O). Each molecule of urea contains 4 hydrogen atoms. Given mass of urea = 5.4 g. Molar mass of urea = 60 g/mol.
Moles of urea = (5.4)/(60) = 0.09 mol.
Step 1: Calculate Total Hydrogen Atoms
Number of hydrogen atoms = Moles of urea × 4 × NA Number of hydrogen atoms = 0.09 × 4 × (6.022 × 10²³) Number of hydrogen atoms = 0.36 × 6.022 × 10²³ Number of hydrogen atoms = 2.16792 × 10²³ ≈ 2.168 × 10²³
Pattern Recognition
Don't forget to multiply the total moles of the molecule by the specific atom count (atomicity) requested. Urea has 4 hydrogens per molecule.
